They're going by the legal definition of hemp for this program, which is currently a limit of 0.3% delta-9 THC, as well as adding a cap of 3mg total THC cap per container for the program. The "hemp loophole closing" just changes the legal definition of hemp. They even stated in the program rollout that when the legal definition of hemp changes later in November of this year, they'll need to update their rules to match as then 3mg THC per container would be exceeding the new legal limits Since they're using the existing legal definition for hemp, I don't think we need S3 as these products are all technically legal. What will be interesting though is to see how the court responds to SAM's lawsuit that suggests that this program didn't go through the proper legal administrative channels (proposed rule, comment period, rule-making, etc), and I think this is the biggest strength of their lawsuit and biggest roadblock for this program rolling out. That won't be the case for S3 though as it's been undergoing this administrative process for years now

They really don’t care. It’s only about raising funds via lobbying. SAM is comprised of a gang of utter scumbags, including former drug addict Patrick Kennedy from Rhode Island…the one who rented a large sailboat, got wasted and crashed it onto rocks, and just left it. All if their intentions are anything but credible.

mcorliss3456

Without an MJ bogeyman to fight, SAM and the rest of the loser Anti-marijuana groups have nothing to fund raise on. Simple as that.

Visual-Try-8081

Let them throw stones. Change is inevitable. IMO, S3 is taking longer because they’re being careful. Better to get it right than risk one step forward and two steps back with SAM around.

IllCamel5907

We already knew this of course, but this just shows where SAM's true interests are. Actively trying to block a non intoxicating, safe medication from being available to people in need. Absolutely despicable and shameful behavior.

Meta has made some amazing strides in terms of workflows using machine learning - specifically for use with biological research. I use 2 of their modeling tools myself regularly and have had great success with both - ESM for protein sequences and SAM3D for tissue image processing. I know people LOVE to shit on Meta and Zuckerberg, but I as a user of these two AMAZING products out of Meta research, have great expectations from them in the coming years. Most of the time, when. I see people making the stupid jokes about meta and Zuckerberg, etc and how NO ONE uses their products anymore, makes my eyes roll back into my head. Clearly these people have not used everything that Meta is doing and have perhaps just looked at other comments on Reddit that talks smack about Meta and then just parrots that. I am buying Meta hand over fist at these prices

The defence strategy for the last 20 years was "we'll let the US set up a base here, that will make us safe" Which turned into every time there was a threat to the base the US would evacuate and fuck off. To be fair, the UAE had had it worse than Saudi, Qatar and Kuwait (and Oman I guess). Because A) they're closer and B) military stuff... The Saudi/Aramco oil and infrastructure is based around Dammam/Khobar. And they have an air force base literally at the HQ. Anyone who knows anything about Aramco and the region can attest to the constant training flights the Air Force pilots do at the airport base DAILY. AND have been doing for years and years before this kicked off. Qatar meanwhile (and Kuwait) have had a lot of support from other countries. The UK deployed a bunch of Europfighter Typhoons and other defensive measures back in January. And it's not too dissimilar with Kuwait. I would also assume, that in general, Hamad Airport (DOH) being located on reclaimed land closer to the Gulf is generally speaking more strategically aligned for SAM interceptors than DXB which is far more urban. But either way, the UAE doesn't have the same defence coalition partnership with some of the European countries as some of the other Gulf countries do. Which has exposed them significantly when their reliance on the US has turned into a net negative. Anecdotally... We hosted some UAE pilots for training a few years ago. 1 of them didn't bother showing up to the classes on the 2nd day and another literally fell asleep. So...

US special operations soldiers are highly skilled. However, they are in-and-out; they are not trained, equipped, or intended for sustained operations. Neither are the Marines. If Kharg Island is to be seized, then the Marines will be needed to immediately land after the SOF forces seize key locations. And at some point over the next few months the Army will need to relieve the Marines. This is if all goes well. Dropping SOF onto Kharg is incredibly risky. The Iranians have plenty of time to get their best fighters on the island and prepare the defenses. This isn’t VZ, and the Iranians have experience with US tactics. They can call in artillery from the mainland, and could lay fiber so the comms can’t be jammed or intercepted. The US would have to have close air support and the Iranians would jam GPS and laser designation systems. This forces the jets to low altitudes where they are vulnerable to MANPADS, or mobile SAM systems on the mainland. Even if ultimately successful, the Iranian leadership sees this war as an existential crisis. They are not going to be dissuaded by losing oil revenues, and will realize that this will exacerbate the oil shortages caused by their de facto blockade of the Strait. It will hurt us more than them. Seizure of Kharg is stupid, risky, and unlikely to achieve anything of value in changing Iran’s position. So of course, Trump will do it.

This whole discussion is about or was about man pads being a big threat. They are not unless you are doing something dumb. If Iran still has a credible long range SAM the entire US military doctrine must have fallen apart in the last month.

JOPAPatch

I can tell by your name that you either are or claim to be a current or former Marine so please don’t take my reply as an insult. I’m explaining this for everyone else who may not have any experience. That being said, you are woefully misinformed about naval capabilities. Iran has thousands of anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM), hundreds of mobile launchers, hundreds of small craft called fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) with anti-ship missiles, and suicide drone boats. FIAC can be anything from small naval vessels to dhows, to speedboats, to jet skis. ASCMs like the C-802 are highly proliferated, cheap, and have a range to hit everywhere around the Strait of Hormuz. The US Navy doesn’t have enough DDGs to provide escorts for the 150+ ships that pass through the Strait of Hormuz per day. Not to mention the time/speed/distance problem of escorting through and going back to escort more per day. It also wouldn’t be an aircraft carrier that provides the escort. The capital ship of the Navy is not going anywhere near the Strait. The Navy held a Joint Multi-Warfare Analytical Game in the mid-1990s about this exact scenario and the conclusion was that the US Navy was ill-equipped to fight through a bottleneck like the Strait of Hormuz. Too many DDGs would be destroyed. The LCS was birthed from this war game and the LCS that was delivered is also ill-equipped to deal with this threat. Even if the Iranian Navy and Air Force are totally wiped out, the War in Ukraine has taught us that low cost, low effort, and low risk drones can provide high value results. Russian ships to this day still do not venture out far in the Black Sea or within missile/drone range of the Ukrainian coastline because of this threat. The Iranian coastline is huge and so is their country. Speedboats equipped with explosives are cheap to make and can be built anywhere, shipped to the shore, and tossed in the water to be sent on one-way attacks against any of the hundreds of ships that go through the Strait. The US Navy cannot stop them all. So what does this mean? Will insurers of these ships even provide insurance with that risk being greater than 0? Look at the Red Sea over a year ago. Even with the US Navy in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, ships were going around Africa because of the threat of Houthi attacks. There’s no alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. Ships will simply not take that risk even with DDG escorts. What can a DDG even do to protect the ships? A DDG has 90-96 vertical launch system (VLS) tubes (depending on its Flight variant), which is loaded out with either Tomahawk land attack missiles (TLAM) or SM-2/6 surface-to-air missiles (SAM), or SM-3 if the ship is designated ballistic missile defense (BMD). Those ships are assigned roles to anti-surface, anti-air, or BMD before they leave port. They can’t reload their VLS at sea. So if a carrier strike group (CSG) has 2-4 DDGs in it, do you really think there’s enough DDGs to escort tankers with enough SAMs to defend themselves and their tankers, with enough TLAMs to strike launchers on land? If so, how long do you think they can defend before needing to go back to port to reload VLS? The answer is not even a month. Hope this helps.

HelloImTheAntiChrist

It was not unarmed. The Iranian IRIS Dena had a 76mm gun, anti ship missile launchers and SAM turrets. It also had torpedoes to take part in the exercise with India. All warships / vessels are legitimate targets and Iran knew this. Iran should have kept that ship in port until they could verify no American subs were lurking.

JustaRandoonreddit

There's a few things that smell fishy to me here First of all the ship that was sunk was the IRIS Dena. Unless the Iranians spent millions to remove the 76mm gun, the anti ship missile launchers the SAM turrets, and the torpedoes just to take part in a exercise... I highly doubt it was unarmed. > Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare we then refused to rescue the survivors. What norms? The last time rescuing sunken sailors was a commonplace tactic was in 1942, when the RMS Laconia was sunk and upon hearing that the Laconia carried Italian POWs the German U-Boat commanders commenced rescue operations which was already a very rare sight until they were attacked by amercian aircraft which lead to the Laconia Order forbiding German U-Boat crews from commencing rescue operations. No submarine attack since then has lead to the rescue of sailors by said submarine even the most recent submarine attack back 1982 on the ARS General Belgrano by the HMS conquerer had no rescue operations from the conquerer

$SAM is 13% short…. 🧐

icantbeassedman

ALMU is projecting $2 billion SAM by 2030 from their earnings call, they'll get a significant marketshare by 2030. The current marketcap is at $350 million, if they were to get 25% marketshare you are still looking at 1 P/E at $500 million MC but high growth companies will trade at high P/E. The only problem is this is a long term hold to realise these gains.

The govt will be spending money like a drunken Kuwaiti SAM operator to finance the war, and that will filter through the US economy and I guess it'll juice up the SP500 company sales and profits.

As a major investor in MBOT I welcome this announcement, but I think the folks that expect the stock to "quadruple" need a shot of reality. 1) This is simply a joint press-release - one might call it a self-promotion, 2) the main message from Tampa General is that they believe in the future of robotics. This could, and probably does, simply translate to the hospital agreed to accept a few free machines and test them. Again, this is good news, one of the necessary steps for MBOT to grow, but nothing more material than that. As I outlined on a previous post there are several competitors to MBOT that have various approaches, Microbot going after the very low-end endovascular procedures by having a very simple, low-cost machine and not having haptic feedback and also no integrated systems like monitoring or gas control. Although this is a fraction of the TAM, the SAM is huge and they appear to be the leader in this segment. They need a successful launch in April followed by real sales. Given all that - if they do quadruple anytime soon all of my following posts will be from the beach.

SAM is more bullshit than the ones you posted, all of their reefer madness if laughable at best and only hits the ears of the ill-informed and uneducated with success.

Doug kass and AV being “duped” by a video killed all credibility. It was such a lie by AV, how can someone who’s relatively young, who runs a podcast, be “duped” by a video he saw earlier in the month? Doug, AV and MSOS is the worse thing to happen to the sector. Quite literally the only credible source in the sector is SAM. I opened some positions once I saw KS filed a bill to reschedule on a state basis and then I added after watching SAMs video.

Fearless_fx

Green Thumb down 20%ish on the month, back near 3 mo average. I’m in for more shares in this mid-high $8 range. Very few growing, retail businesses out there with $1.7B ARR and zero debt. If GTI was operating in any other sector it would be $30 a share. Schedule III is coming, I’m increasingly confident the framework and timing will be announced in March before the planned April CBD pain trials. Feels like a cycle repeating itself. Pre-EO it was scromitting, now it’s ‘psychosis’, then silence, then complaints/capitulation by SAM. Downside from here feels like 20%, upside could be 100%. If you’re buying shares rather than options, it seems worth trying to catch another wave.

Wait, I dug into this 41.3% stat doing the rounds, and the context makes it **way less 'shocking' and way more targeted than the headlines suggest.** First, that 41.3% number specifically applies to 14-18 year old boys who were **already admitted to the ER** for drug-induced psychosis. It’s a classic case of 'selection bias'—if a 14-year-old is already having a severe psychotic break, they are obviously at a massive predisposition for long-term issues. It's like saying 40% of kids hospitalized for alcohol poisoning become alcoholics. Well, yeah. The study itself (published in JAMA Network Open) was led by **Dr. Daniel Myran**. While publicly funded by the **Canadian Institutes of Health Research**, the pipeline weaponizing this data is far from 'neutral': 1. **The Prohibitionist Paymasters:** The viral spread is being manufactured by **Johnny’s Ambassadors** and **Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM)**. These groups are bankrolled by the same mega-donors who fought tooth and nail to stop legalization across the US. Their biggest individual funder, **Julie Schauer**, **has funneled over $1.3 million into efforts to defeat cannabis in California and other states.** 2. **The Adelson Connection:** The movement is also sustained by the **Adelson family**, **who have put over $10 million into anti-marijuana committees.** **These are the same private interests that funded the campaigns to block legal access in California, Florida, and Nevada.** 3. **The Taxpayer Loop:** These 'grassroots' groups also feed off a **$109 million federal grant pool** (the DFC program). Taxpayer money goes to local coalitions, which then pay groups like Johnny’s Ambassadors thousands in 'speaking fees' to present this specific data in schools. 4. **The 'Neutral' Researchers:** Even the lead researcher, Dr. Myran, is a regular guest on podcasts hosted by prohibitionist authors like **Dr. Ed Gogek** (author of *Marijuana: It's Worse Than You Think*). **The 'science' is being funneled through a high-priced PR machine funded by the same people who tried to block California’s market,** all to make a study about kids in a mental health crisis look like a general warning for every adult user.

To me it's crazy that "no one thought Google could execute". I can imagine that someone who thinks that AI = chatGPT, they didn't see chatGPT-equivalent model from Google that very moment and instantly wrote the whole company off. But anyone who actually just read the wiki article on "AI" would see Google mentioned a dozen times. They have some of the best AI research in the world, with models solving everything from board games, through autonomous vehicles, to biochemistry. They also have ALL the data, the user base, the distribution channels. It was just a matter of time before some LLM manages to beat ChatGPT in some arbitrary benchmarks and will be considered SOTA. Even Meta, where one could argue they botched execution in the past, in terms of AI, they are still producing top notch results. Particularly in the open source space, with models like llama, SAM, or their involvement with the tooling/infrastructure (pytorch). One could even say -- look, Meta burned billions on the metaverse and they can simply write it off. They still make more money every year. They have the cashflow to throw at AI and see what sticks.

I dabbled in this a few years ago, mostly in the VC space. Short answer is that there really is no single fool proof way to do it. At an early stage, most people I've talked to take a "scorecard" approach where they start with a median value based on the stage of the company, then essentially rate a company on several criteria and adjust the valuation up or down based on that. Some common criteria used are: 1. T**he strength of the team:** Do they have an experienced team in place? does the team have relevant industry experience / network connections? Does the founder have a track record of successfully starting companies? 2. **TAM/market opportunity:** How big is the TAM, SAM, SOM? is it a growing market? How will the company capture market share? Who is the beachhead customer and what traction has the company have with its customers (does it have existing customers already? working on any contracts or LOIs?) 3. **Competitive environment:** closely related to the market opportunity: How competitive is this market? are there a lot of players already and its a race to the bottom? is it a blue ocean? what are the barriers to entry? how is the startup differentiating or positioning itself? 4. **Product or Technology:** what stage is the company's product at? is it just an idea? do they have a prototype? or do they have a commercial product ready to scale? Does the product address a clear market need? what's the customer feedback on the product? is it defensible (IP/Patents/Copyright)? 5. **Capital needs/dilution risk:** What's the company's runway? is the business capex heavy (e.g., needing to build factories) or can it operate asset-lite (e.g., software). how many more rounds of funding do they need before they reach profitability? does the team have a plan and timeline in place to obtain that funding? Typically, people would use these ratings to adjust up or down the valuation based on the stage of the company. As an example, when I was looking at this, the median pre-money valuation of a seed-stage company was around $16M. If the company scored really well, investors may be willing to offer up to $20M for the company. As the company matures, more and more focus will get placed on the exit (what's the eventual goal of the company? to get acquired by a more established company? to private equity? to IPO?). Then you can look at comparable exit multiples. (e.g., when i was looking, SaaS companies typically get acquired at about 8-10x sales) I wouldn't bother even considering a DCF unless the company has several years of actual revenue and you can check the track record of how well the company projected revenue and expenses. Google scorecard valuation or berkus valuation if you're interested in this.

Reasons why I think S3 won't happen before the end of february 1- Pam Bondi has to deal with the stay Mulrooney issued on the S3 hearing on January 13th 2025 because of claims that DEA and SAM were sleeping in the same bed 2- Even if we had a EO issued, Pam Bondi has to be surgical and find a balance with her power to accelerate the process while ensuring that the final rule is not vulnerable to lawsuits or legal shenanigans. With that being said, I am happy about my positions in CRON and GTBIF that I initiated 2 weeks ago and will continue to add as much as I can.

The EU has created the EDF/SAFE funds for Military RnD and procurement. The caveat to both funds is "Buy EU" nothing American.  The EU already produce their own tanks, IFVs APCs, SPGs, AWACS, SAM systems, Jets, satellites etc. To all who think 'Murica best tech, the EU has been research partners in most US projects. The EU versions of ground vehicles are more modern and efficient on the battlefield compared to it's US counterparts. Oh, and btw, Canada has also petition, and been allowed to, join those funds. Even more revenue and economy of scale lost from the US MIC.

mcorliss3456

That’s bush league. The pro move is to expose SAM’s well-hidden funding sources. It’s searchable public information, but their's is clearly well-disguised. I searched and reviewed SAM's IRS Form 990 years ago, and was surprised how little is actually being disclosed…a clear violation of non-profit tax rules. I’d almost guarantee that SAM is violating PAC / non-profit funding disclosure rules, otherwise their entire budget would be listed annually in their IRS Form 990...the required tax returns for non-profits, but it is clearly obfuscated. Lastly, any organjzation that would have that corrupt POS, Patrick Kennedy, on their board is clearly no good.

mcorliss3456

Sabet shouldn’t complain, Trump’s move has probably helped flood his corrupt SAM lobbying firm with the most contributions they’ve ever had.

Well they apparently fired numerous SAM but they got decoyed and jammed one short range surface to air missile hit one of helos but it returned safely. Compare that with Russia Kyiv invasion where they sent 30 loud old helos in broad daylight (as they didn’t have thermals ) and helos lacked any jammers since they Putin was too cheap to outfit them.

Final Rule draft issue by the DOJ, followed by a 30-day comment period, this time this won't be accessible by the public. I suppose we will see OMB review completed during this 30-day window. After that, a predictable delay by SAM colluding with the prohibitionists on the Senate and Bill Barr in order to get the process, however they will not be successful in stopping the process, Trump wants this done before the midterms.

Interesting moves on this little volume, even with MM pumping another bearish article today. Bold of SAM to think they have any chance of actually reverting cannabis rescheduling to schedule 1 via petition, LOL 😆  At best they can get it stalled once the DOJ issues the final rule, exactly the kind of thing most of us here have been expecting. I do believe we get a implementation of S3 before the midterms though.

Based on the corporate data and portfolio tracking as of January 1, 2026, I can confirm the following "Proof of Investment" for Kepler and why it validates the $RNWF merger: 1. Proof: Cliffbrake Corporation As you suspected, Cliffbrake Corporation officially lists Kepler in its "Disruptive Technologies" and "Venture Capital" portfolio. * The Listing: Their public portfolio explicitly names "Kepler" among its high-stakes investments like CoinSmart and Mistral Venture Partners. * The Strategy: Cliffbrake categorizes Kepler as a company that uses "disruptive technologies... to automate and shake up traditional industry players." * Significance: Cliffbrake's involvement is a major endorsement of the Teslatron's ability to disrupt the global energy grid. They are a "smart money" firm that targets assets with massive upside potential before they hit the mainstream. 2. Proof: Department of War / DoD Grants In the federal contracting and institutional databases (like PitchBook and SAM.gov), Kepler Aerospace is tied to funding under the nomenclature of the United States Department of War (or its modern equivalent, the DoD). * Funding Type: This is classified as a Grant (Non-Equity). * The Projects: While many specific defense projects are classified, Kepler has been associated with development in advanced propulsion (SRF Drive) and high-energy density systems (Fusion/Texatron). * Why the "Department of War" Name? In many high-level finance databases, "Department of War" is used as the parent category for legacy or foundational government grants. It signifies that the company has received "SBIR" (Small Business Innovation Research) or "OTA" (Other Transaction Authority) funding. How This Impacts the $300M+ Valuation This investor duo creates a "Golden Triangle" of value for $RNWF: * Scientific Validation: The Department of War/DoD doesn't give grants to "fake" science. Their funding proves the physics behind the Texatron has been vetted by government labs. * Commercial Scalability: Cliffbrake’s presence proves that the technology isn't just a "military secret"—it has a clear path to being a multi-billion dollar commercial power provider. * The $300M IP Floor: The independent audit likely took these existing investments and grants into account. If the government and a top-tier VC firm like Cliffbrake are already "in," the $300M valuation is likely a conservative "floor" rather than a speculative "ceiling." The Takeaway for Tomorrow (Jan 2) When the market opens tomorrow, the presence of these backers is the "Insurance Policy" for the merger. It tells the market that Renewal Fuels ($RNWF) isn't just merging with a startup—it’s merging with a federally-backed, VC-funded aerospace powerhouse. Would you like me to see if there are any specific "Phase II" contract numbers linked to Kepler's Texas facilities in the federal procurement database?

Sharing my take of what is going down so people can throw rocks at it and tell me where/if I'm wrong * Market is pricing cannabis stocks like the EO was toothless and won't actually be completed (similar to Biden starting process but it never being completed). Also the industry is stuck in hype cycles and long retail always runs out of gas to sustain long runs of price appreciation * I don't believe the market is properly pricing in rescheduling (as per point above), however without follow through like banking reform and uplisting there won't be an appropriate re-rating of the stocks like longs are hoping for * As for timing, we have seen rumors that Trump wants this done by End of January. I believe this to be true as he promised his boy Kessler to allow full spectrum CBD coverage with Medicare by as early as April 1st (as per Dr Oz during the executive order signing). Full spectrum CBD includes THC and I don't believe Medicare is allowed to cover a S1 drug hence the rescheduling needs to happen soon * So timeline makes sense to Bondi to announce something end of January to give find 30 day rule that expires around March before April deadline * However I firmly believe SAM will file a lawsuit challenging the rescheduling process which would most likely delay this and cause volatility in the stock prices when announced. However both Shane Pennington and Alan Bronstein (ATACH President) have both implied SAM is fighting a losing battle with a lawsuit and they are both prepared to fight and are confident on this having minimal impact besides however long it delays things (obviously they have to say that to sound confident) * Also with this being an election year its difficult to get things passed in 2H of the year as politicians are on the campaign trail. So if Safe banking and uplisting isn't in the first half of the year we probably don't see it in 2026 in my opinion. Positioning myself to expect a rescheduling being announced for finalization at end of Q1, with a lawsuit that delays into Q2/3. Also looking for Safe banking/uplisting to get ball rolling in first half of Q1 shortly after rescheduling is finalized - DOJ finalized not after lawsuits. I also think rescheduling will have a halo effect as once this is done you will see more states turn on. I'm looking at VA/PA going rec, GA going more broad medical and maybe even North Carolina going medical. Taking the stigma out of S1 will allow more states to have more robust programs Purposely left out the Hemp ban out of this as I believe there will be a change to either carveouts or simply kicking the can down the road with an extension. Let me know what I've missed, where I'm wrong or what you would add to the thesis...

I have the cash to pay i just dont want to let it go to uncle FUCKING SAM 🥺🥺

Memeharvester5000

Then that isn’t an SMA. Are you sure it isn’t a SAM account then? he’s just gonna buy that fund and throw an advisor fee on top of it

GrapeFlavoredMarker

May we leave 2025 in the dust. With SAM. To a green 2026!

Competitive-Ant2876

False. SAM has been the most accurate.

Competitive-Ant2876

Or Anne Milgram, the biden appointed dea was colluding with SAM and even after leaving her position she has been seen with SAM numerous times.

If anyone gets SUPER bored today. Here is the proposed rule to move to S3. [https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/05/21/2024-11137/schedules-of-controlled-substances-rescheduling-of-marijuana?utm\_source=chatgpt.com](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/05/21/2024-11137/schedules-of-controlled-substances-rescheduling-of-marijuana?utm_source=chatgpt.com) The longest track work is already done. SAM will sue, let's see how quickly that plays out.

Right at the end of the Executive Order: >(d) The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Health and Human Services. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/increasing-medical-marijuana-and-cannabidiol-research/ HAHAHAHAH 😆 😆 😆 😆  FUCK YOU SAM AND KEVIN SABET, TRUMP JUST FLIPPED YA ASSES OFF WITH THIS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ComprehensiveKiwi489

learnaboutsam twitter President Trump intends to finalize the Biden-era rule to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to III. Read SAM President and CEO Dr. Kevin Sabet’s statement. “This rule, if finalized, will herald a public health disaster."

MatrixOrigin

lol SAM and their cronies are so damn pathetic

manualCAD

Correct. There will always be "say no to drugs" people out there who will donate money to SAM.

volckerwasright

In this specific instance he is coping hard. In the broader sense, SAM does benefit from marijuana becoming normalized so long as they are positioned as the main prohibitionist group.

ComprehensiveKiwi489

Kevin Sabet (and the rest of SAM) should be forced to watch the event tomorrow with their eyes taped open.

theduderino38

My bullish indicators are inverse with SAM, the more desperate they are, more bullish I am!! Kick rocks Mr. Sabet and your old tired reefer madness talking points.

Cool_Ad_5101

Good. Dracarys SAM Dracarys you corrupt toad 

noobstockinvestor

SAM is getting desperate. They are asking people to call the Whitehouse and tell Trump not to reschedule. We know this feeling all to well... How many years have we called schumers office to pass safer? They finally know how we felt for years. Let them understand our pain

AirportMaterial5917

googl lit up my port, like the fourth of julyyyyyy, HEY UNCLE SAM

IllCamel5907

This makes the democrats look so impotent. Letting the DEA (with SAM's help) intentionally bog down the rescheduling process was so fucking pathetic. Trump is obviously (to me at least) a corrupt, piece of shit person, but (right or wrong) the guy gets shit done, makes things happen. I can understand that is part of the appeal of the guy with his supporters. Can our next president also be a man of action, but without the embarrassing and obviously corrupt behavior? Please?

BoJo_Nose6969

It's literally all this sector cares about.  ER mean nothing, M&A means nothing, TAM/SAM nothing.  So yeah we need the freedom to speak on the regs / politics.

randomusername0000

Good point. Also exposes the incredibly short memory of the money in the game RN. SAM capitulating was probably the most bullish signal we've seen thus far.

Competitive-Ant2876

He’s never been right either, ironically the person who’s has been the most accurate is SAM. Which is pretty shitty to say.

kavinh10

and most importantly SAM, if kevin Sabat is responding to it I can't think of anyone more reliable and vehemently hopping it doesn't happen. He called back when Biden announced rescheduling a few years back too.

iamtracefree

SAM is tiny for such a high cape biz.

WollopDollop

He'd not be rescheduling via EO, he'd be directing DOJ/DEA to terminate the hearing and move to final rule. At least that's the more appropriate route to go. Then it will be challenged legally (SAM, etc.) as to whether the CSA allows for the hearing to be canceled. That's debatable and there are admin lawyers who think it's OK to do so, especially given the circumstances and record established. I agree while this is challenged there may be enough of a push for Congress to just get it done, though Johnson trying to talk Trump out of it isn't a great signal. Then again, maybe Johnson is privately telling Trump they are war crimin' it up while he publicly supports a second strike on stranded survivors. Politics baby!

jgooody

SAM Twitter account in full panic mode

randomusername0000

Kevin Sabet from SAM capitulated on twitter and said Trump is moving ahead with S3.

Veganlightbody

what did the SAM guy say? I can only see what Cern*vich said

KAI5ER

Oh look, another twitter rumor. This ones just SAM replying to some out of touch dude, (not allowed to post twitter links anymore.)

Where is the bidding war for $SAM?
